Thermally Modified Wood Decking: Sustainable, Durable, and Beautiful

Benefits of Thermally Modified Wood Decking

1. Enhanced Strength and Hardness

Through a specialized impregnation treatment, thermally modified wood achieves up to a 60% increase in strength without sacrificing elasticity or bending ability. The wood's density is doubled, resulting in a harder surface that resists dents, scratches, and surface damage.


2. Superior Dimensional Stability

Thermally modified wood has minimal dimensional changes due to moisture exposure. Unlike untreated wood, it resists swelling and shrinking, making it ideal for areas with fluctuating humidity or outdoor applications.


3. Long-Lasting Resistance

  • UV Protection: Greater resistance to UV degradation reduces discoloration and slows the natural aging process of the wood.

  • Moisture Barrier: Its closed pores block moisture, preventing rot and decay, resulting in a longer lifespan.

  • Termite and Wood Borer Proof: Pests do not recognize thermally modified wood as a food source, ensuring your decking remains intact.


4. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

This decking is an environmentally responsible choice, sourced from sustainable forests and treated with zero toxins. It supports forest conservation by offering an alternative to tropical hardwoods, which contribute to deforestation and climate change. After its use, the material can be disposed of like untreated natural wood.


5. Customizable Aesthetics

Thermally modified wood decking offers versatility in design, with a luxurious warmth that enhances both indoor and outdoor spaces. Left untreated, it naturally weathers into a silvery grey patina, offering timeless elegance.


6. Low Maintenance Requirements

Apart from regular cleaning, this timber requires no additional treatment over its lifespan, making it a hassle-free decking solution.
